Truck Alt - conversion or custom bracket? Hello All...
I know it may be easier just to find a whole F-body accessory setup. But I have the truck setup already and it on the motor and in the Mustang.
But has anybody purchased or used a mod to the factory Truck Alt braket so it doesnt sit up so high? Or does anybody sell custom bracket?
thanks

I did pretty much the same as zipster but on the drivers side.

Why would Zipster's setup take away the power steering. I think the only thing I would be worried about would be belt slip on the wp. Also how did you go about getting the truck fully on the f-body wp.
I agree, and if you want more belt wrap, you can use the original truck "S" wrap, keep an idler pulley above the PS and route the belt over the WP pulley.
The alternator is only held on be two bolts for now, I am going to add a bracket to triangulate the forces and attach it to the head.
With no spark plugs in the engine I can almost turn the engine over by rotating the water pump. I don't think it will slip.
I kept the stock truck power steering pump, and the water pump is the truck one, I just modified the outlet.

When its time to replace the pump, I will look into a Trailblazer or Camaro pump.

i may have to try this!!
Yes, there is one bolt with a spacer where the tensioner was, there is a turnbuckle from Home Depot that I bent the eyelets so they would lay flat against the water pump end the alternator.
